Peak Area Meeting: 20 March

The next Peak Area Meeting will be on Wednesday 20 March 2019, starting at 7.30pm, at The Maynard, Grindleford, S32 2HE.

Area meetings are run by volunteers and provide an opportunity for you to discuss issues and influence decisions affecting climbers and walkers locally and nationally, and to meet like-minded people and enjoy a sociable night out.

Derbyshire Constabulary’s Wildlife Crime Officer and the RSPB Investigations Team will be attending the meeting to tell us more about what they are doing to protect wildlife and what we can do to help.

All are welcome; food will be provided by the BMC, available from 6.30pm.

The BMC's charity – the BMC Access & Conservation Trust– promotes sustainable access to cliffs, mountains and open countryside by facilitating education and conservation projects across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

By educating climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers to enjoy outdoor recreation while minimising their impact on the landscape, conserving the UK’s upland resources, and campaigning for improved access rights, ACT enables future generations to continue to enjoy outdoor activities and the physical, mental and social benefits they bring to individual lives and society in general.

YOUTH & EQUITY

The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) is the representative body that exists
to protect the freedoms and promote the interests of climbers, hill walkers and
mountaineers, including ski-mountaineers. The BMC recognises that climbing, hill
walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death.
Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be
responsible for their own actions.
